Revisual – Event Communication for Google Calendar & Outlook
v1.0.2 · by Revisual
Turn your Google Calendar or Outlook calendar into a full event communication channel: website, QR codes, emails and partner sites, always in sync.
About this plugin
A great event still falls flat if the calendar says one thing and the flyer says another. Revisual closes that gap.
Your calendar is already where your events live — whether that’s Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365). Revisual transforms it into a complete event communication system, distributing your programme automatically across your website, printed materials, partner sites, emails, and more. One update in your calendar, and every channel stays in sync.
🎯 The Problem Revisual Solves
Event information is hard to keep consistent across channels. A time changes, a venue updates, a new session is added — and suddenly your website says one thing, your printed flyer says another, and your email said something else entirely.
Revisual makes your calendar the single source of truth, then handles all the distribution for you. No copy-pasting. No manual updates across five platforms. No events that fall through the cracks.
📅 Works With the Calendar You Already Use
- Google Calendar — connect one or more calendars from your Google account.
- Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft 365) — connect your Outlook calendar and keep managing events exactly where your team already does.
Your team keeps working in the calendar they know. Revisual handles the publishing.
🏢 Built for Microsoft 365 Organisations Too
Schools, universities, councils, associations and hotel groups often run on Microsoft 365. Until now, getting Outlook events onto a public website meant publishing the calendar as a plain HTML page, pasting an iframe, or copying events into the website by hand.
With Revisual, you connect Outlook once and your events appear on WordPress as branded, mobile-friendly event calendars — plus QR codes, email embeds and hosted pages — all kept up to date automatically.
🌐 One Calendar. Every Channel.
Revisual connects your calendar to the channels your audience actually uses:
- Your website — beautiful, always-updated event widgets embedded with a shortcode or Gutenberg block
- Partner and affiliate sites — embed your calendar on multiple sites simultaneously; all stay in sync automatically
- Printed materials — QR codes that link directly to your live event listings, so even printed content stays fresh
- Email campaigns — shareable hosted event pages you can link to from any email or newsletter
- Kiosks and displays — simple script embed works anywhere, no WordPress required

- Municipalities & cultural institutions — Run city-wide or institution-wide event campaigns from a single shared calendar, reaching audiences across all your channels.
🔒 Performance & Security
Revisual is designed to be fast, reliable, and secure. Your WordPress site never stores event data — all events are fetched via a secure API from your Revisual account. This keeps your site lightweight and ensures it won’t be slowed down by event queries.
Embedding is simple: a tiny script or WordPress block pulls events dynamically without impacting your site’s performance. Revisual handles caching on its side, so events load instantly for visitors.
All connections are encrypted. No visitor data is collected. No cookies are tracked.

External services
Revisual connects to the Revisual API to pull your event widgets and ensure seamless syncing between your WordPress site and your Revisual account.
Here’s exactly what happens and why:
-
Your WordPress site sends basic information to the Revisual API:
- WordPress version
- Site name
- Site URL
-
Purpose:
- To generate a unique API key for your site
- To securely fetch your event data and widgets from Revisual
- To ensure your events are always up-to-date and display correctly
-
Data privacy and security:
- Revisual never shares your data with third parties
- No cookies are tracked by Revisual
- No personal or identifying information from site visitors is collected
- Data is transmitted securely via encrypted API connections
- Fully compliant with EU privacy regulations (GDPR)
- Your WordPress site data is only used for connecting and syncing widgets
The plugin itself never connects to Google or Microsoft. Your calendar connection is set up and managed in your Revisual account, not in WordPress.
This setup allows Revisual to function as a lightweight, performance-friendly layer: events are served directly from Revisual servers, keeping your website fast while enabling sharing across multiple sites, emails, and other channels.
This service is provided by “Revisual”: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
